No, I'm afraid that fancy indexing does not do the loop that you are thinking it
would (and for reasons that we've discussed previously on this list, *can't* do
that loop). That statement reduces to something like the following:
tmp = a[b]
tmp = tmp.__iadd__(c)
a[b] = tmp
In [1]: from numpy import *
In [2]: a = array([0, 0])
In [3]: b = array([0, 1, 0, 1, 0])
In [4]: c = array([1, 1, 1, 1, 1])
In [5]: a[b] += c
In [6]: a
Out[6]: array([1, 1])
In [7]: a = array([0, 0])
In [8]: tmp = a[b]
In [9]: tmp
Out[9]: array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0])
In [10]: tmp = tmp.__iadd__(c)
In [11]: tmp
Out[11]: array([1, 1, 1, 1, 1])
In [12]: a[b] = tmp
In [13]: a
Out[13]: array([1, 1])
